Measuring Tap 40: Huangbo and Zhaozhou meet for lunch

Yeah. This is a headline disappointment situation where you won't be disappointed.

Measuring Tap is a book of Zen instruction written by Yuanwu, based on Cases and commentary written by Xuedou.

Zhaozhou went to Huangbo

Yuanwu interrupting: (Two old outlaws.)

When Huangbo saw him coming, he shut the door to his room

Yuanwu interrupting: (A follower of Meng Chang)

Zhaozhou said, "Help, fire! Help, fire!"

Yuanwu interrupting: (After all he is not out of order as a red-shoed guest)

Huangbo then came out, grabbed and held him, and said, "Speak, speak!"

Yuanwu interrupting: (A double case)

Zhaozhou said, "You're drawing your bow after the bandit has gone"

Yuanwu interrupting: (He's run into this fellow's tricks)

Xuedou cited this and said, "This is simply laughable. Laughing takes thirty years.
